Sacred Heart Soup Diet - My Personal Experience, and Whether the Sacred Heart Diet is Right For You


I've been trying to lose weight for the last few months now... my ex thought I was a little too heavy, so I figured it's a good time to start trying to get into shape. I've tried a few different things, and last week I went for the Sacred Heart Soup Diet. It's a pretty well known one week diet plan, promising to help you lose 10 pounds or so in a week, so I figured what the heck... why not?

When I was doing some research though, one thing that caught my eye right away... as the story goes, the Sacred Heart Memorial Hospital came up with the diet plan to help obese patients lose weight before heart surgery. Turns out this story's bull. The Sacred Heart Memorial Hospital neither came up with the diet, nor do the endorse it.

But! With that said, the Sacred Heart Soup diet centers around a natural vegetable soup, with natural foods (different foods for every day) to supplement the soup. So the food's healthier than what I normally eat, a little less expensive than what I normally eat, and you can eat plenty, so the number of calories eaten isn't too low.

So! Onto the Sacred Heart diet... I went all 7 days, and wrote down a little entry after every day. This is what I came up with:

Day 1: the Sacred Heart soup's pretty good. I've had soup like this before, so I knew more or less what to expect... but I can see eating this for a week. When my mom made soup back when I lived at home, she'd usually make a few day's worth anyway, so this shouldn't be too bad. I like fruit too, except for bananas... bananas suck. So first day, I'm feeling pretty good.

Day 2: Not much to report here... feel normal, the soup's still... well, the Sacred Heart soup. And it'll be the same for the next while too... I made a big batch. Two batches will probably get me through the week, one yesterday, one day after tomorrow. The veggies are less fun than the fruit though... raw means nothing interesting. I'd have liked a potato, but oh well...

Day 3: eh... feeling a little bit achy today. Not feeling like soup's a great idea, but oh well. Hey, plenty of people in Africa that'd kill for some of this... um... Sacred Heart Soup... yeah. The fruits and veggies came out good... mixed it up with some indian. You ever get stuck eating vegetarian... indian all the way man. A chick pea is a vegetable, right?

Day 4: new soup batch! Mixed it up a little and changed the seasonings... I like this batch better. Chicken instead of beef, and more mushrooms. Not sure why I like 'em, but I do. I feel a lot better today too... guess I just needed to catch my second wind? The bananas and milk sucks though, I hate both. So... I made smoothies, that wasn't too terrible at least.

Day 5: Alright! Nice, some meat today... I like chicken over beef, but I'm thinking I wasn't complaining today just the same. I still feel good... a little more energy than usual I think? And! Scale says I'm making some headway, so I'm feeling pretty good about things now.

Day 6: Today's pretty easy... with the meat and veggies there's a whole lot of good food I can make to go with the soup. A lot of my favorites are still out because of the no carbs thing though... pity. Fajitas sound delicious... or like... some stuffing...

Day 7: alright! Made it! I'm seriously about sick of the Sacred Heart Soup though... in the end, says I lost 9 pounds. Not bad... though we'll see if it stays off.




So! As far as the conclusion goes... well, you'll have to read about it here. Is the Sacred Heart Soup Diet for you? Read a little more information, think about it... and hey, might be worth trying.

The Lemonade Cleanse - My Personal Experience, and Whether It's Worth Trying


So! I'm back with another diet experience, on the quest towards becoming healthy and happy. I've written about a few different things now, the sacred heart diet, strip that fat, and now it's onto the lemonade cleanse. This one's interesting though, since it's a bit different than what I've been doing so far... this isn't a weight loss diet in the proper sense, it's more of a detox cleanse. I DID lose a ton of weight in the ten days, but it's starting to come back now... though I think a few pounds of that'll probably be permanent.

So! The lemonade cleanse: what is it?

The concept's pretty simple... in fact, all the instructions take about a half a page to tell, if you're interested in trying the Lemonade Cleanse hit the link at the bottom, since that's not what this article is about. But the basic idea, is there's a lemonade you make out of maple syrup, lemons, and cayenne pepper... I know the pepper makes it sounds horrible, but it's actually not too bad... and you can lower or ramp up the cayenne depending on your tolerance, although the higher the dose the better... cayenne pepper is apparently the single healthiest herb you can eat, though some might want to watch out for heart burn?

That's not quite all that's involved though... the rest of it involves taking some natural laxatives... either an herbal tea twice a day, or a straight shot of about a liter of water and sea salt once a day... the salt water was... pretty horrible, but good lord did it work. Number one thing I learned? For God's sake, don't take it unless you'll be at home for a while, you don't want to get caught somewhere else when that stuff hits half an hour after drinking.

So How Was it? Was it tough?

... yes, to be honest. This one one of the most difficult diets I've been on, especially in the first three days. I felt pretty bad... low energy, and the laxatives were a little rough... as in, they worked. Very well. Like, don't take it unless you know you'll have easy access to a bathroom for the next two hours... you'll regret it if you take it before work for example. Oddly enough I was only hungry for the first three days... this might not be the same experience other's have, but once I rounded the hump it actually wasn't too bad. I bought a little ebook on some tips for the master cleanse... some of them made things easier, but I personally didn't take any of the 'foods you can cheat with' tips... so the version I tried was pretty strong. If you want a less difficult version of the master cleanse, you might try that. (the ebook in question I talk about in the article below if you're interested).

Okay, it was hard then... was it worth it?

Absolutely! I felt better than ever by the end... I did lose close to ten pounds, but I want to make clear that this is NOT to be done as a weight loss diet. It's a detox diet... all the junk in our every day lives (from processed foods to pesticides etc.) makes us very unhealthy... low energy, difficulty losing weight, all kinds of things. I feel much better now, enough to where I'm recommending that all my friends do it too. Half the weight does come back (only about 2 pounds of that is actual fat probably) but I've felt healthier, more full of energy, and overall more able to live my life the way I want... so I definitely feel like the lemonade cleanse is worth it.




So! While there's more I can say about this (and I definitely recommend checking out some more of my thoughts on the Lemon Cleanse [http://www.squidoo.com/lemoncleanse] if you're interested or curious) what's the closing word? To be honest... the stuff that... er... came out... is NOT stuff I like knowing I was carrying around inside me. If everyone's got that kind of filth with them 24/7, it makes you wonder how anyone can function at all. I feel healthier... and I'm finding it easier to eat healthier now too, though maybe that's just me? *shrug*. I'm recommending this to all my friends, it's tough to go through it (though in there's a few other things I tried to make things a little easier on me... not the focus of this article, but if you're interested check out the link).
